Thus post includes two of my fave things: Albany and The Good Rats. Mickey’s haul is particularly impressive since (like every minor league team that has ever called Albany home) The River Rats no longer exist. The Good Rats, on the other hand, still do exist, despite having no original members left. Give The Dead long enough and they will follow this approach, for sure. Come 2030, we could be going to see Young John Mayer, Tripodium Applesauce, Bruce, Oteil and Sentient Drums headlining Albany as Dead and Stuff. Katy Perry’s Picks will help us find their best shows.
